Andning och sväljning är fundamentala förutsättningar för liv. För att kunna äta och dricka på ett normalt sätt krävs en koordination mellan andning och sväljning. När människan sväljer inhiberas andningen för ett ögonblick och olika studier har visat att andningsuppehållet i de flesta fall föregås och följs av utandning. Utandning efter sväljning kan rensa svalget från eventuell kvarstående föda

In pursuit of this aim I have used a discourse analysis to identify whether the documents create different possibi
Denna uppsats syftar till att granska och diskutera kriminaliseringen av – och tillämpningen av straffrätten på – HIV-smittade personers sexuella kontakter där HIV-smitta överförs, eller riskerar att överföras, från en person till en annan. Upprätthållandet av ett straffhot avseende gärningar med grund i HIV är en kontroversiell fråga, i vart fall inom HIV/AIDS-arbetet på internationell nivå. SverThis paper aims to review and discuss the criminalization of – and the application of criminal law to – a HIV-infected person’s sexual contacts where HIV infection is transmitted, or may be transmitted from one person to another. Maintaining criminal sanctions for acts with a connection to HIV is a controversial issue, at least in HIV/AIDS work at an international level. Sweden, which is one of th
With the shift toward de-escalating surgery in breast cancer, prediction models incorporating imaging can reassess the need for surgical axillary staging. This study employed advancements in deep learning to comprehensively evaluate routine mammograms for preoperative lymph node metastasis prediction. Mammograms and clinicopathological data from 1265 cN0 T1-T2 breast cancer patients (primary surge
This thesis examines the Oesch class schema in a Swedish context, and tests its ability to unveil cleavages in political preferences. The Oesch class schema operationalizes class by profession. It adds horizontal divisions based on different work logics to the vertical divisions which schemata such as ESEC build on. Two cleavages are thus captured, an economic (left-right) and a sociocultural (lib
In this essay the impacts of corruption on the bilateral trade of 25 EU countries from 1999 to 2008 are investigated. Corruption is the result of malfunctioning institutions and it leads investment flows to be less productive. Hence corruption is expected to impose cost on trade and therefore we expect that corruption mitigate the amount of trade. The negative impact of corruption on trade is most

The INGOs worked in many different ways to increase
Politeness in Japanese has been the subject of many linguistic inquiries. Overarching these is Brown and Levinson's (1987) influential but also criticized (see Matsumoto, 1988; Ide 1992) theory on politeness as a cross-linguistic factor. By looking into the desu/masu-form and how it contrasts the so called plain form in Japanese, I will show that some of the criticism is misplaced, partly due
In recent years there has been an intensive discussion about how Sweden should be organized in the future. At the turn of 2010/2011six Halland communes formed Region Halland. In this thesis the changes of the Swedish state space are studied through a theoretical approach which focuses on the spatial selectivity. By the concept of spatial selectivity the political-economic aspects of spatial chang
The last decades has seen a development in the international arena towards new norms, designed to protect civilians during humanitarian crises. This notion became known as the Responsibility to Protect (R2P) and has established itself since the turn of the millennia. At the same time we can observe a change in the behavior during war by the western powers, where territorial conquest no longer is t
It is frequently proposed that security and development are inextricably linked. Through history, development and security have constituted separate discourses, but during the 1990s matters of security and development was increasingly being discussed in concert, both in relation to discourse and policy, giving rise to what is commonly referred to as the security-development nexus. When the Millenn

Open-Source Software (OSS) is increasingly used by software applications. It allows for code reuse, but also comes with the problem of potentially being affected by the vulnerabilities that are found in the OSS libraries. With large numbers of OSS components and a large number of published vulnerabilities, it becomes challenging to identify and analyze which OSS components need to be patched and u
